    You want the area called "The Flop" for the largest concentration of bosses.
  2. I've used both areas (PO and St. Martial), and I'm firmly convinced that St. Martial is much faster, regardless of AT/build, due to the much higher number of bosses that spawn there (at times I can target as many as 8 in succession without changing my toon's viewpoint).

    Yes, the Port Oakes bosses are easier to kill, but due to the relative scarcity of them there, I think that, even considering the need for a few extra hits to defeat, St. Martial is the way to go.

    Best of luck to you on your hunting, Angelxman81!

    Yes, I fully understand that. I think any discussion about resetting Mayhems though, particularly in light of badging, has to emphasize the critical issue with the sides resetting (although it is tangential to the main thread point).

    This is only possible if the mission owner does not enter.

    More details here at the wiki.

    Why "pay"? You don't think anyone would do it out of the goodness of their heart?

    I have level-locked villains running up the scale for just this situation, and I'm always happy to log onto one of them, do three VERY quick Newspapers to set up the appropriate Mayhem, and then let anyone who's interested come grab that badge.

    If you (or anyone needing some of these Mayhem exploration badges) are on Victory, feel free to look me up. If not, I suggest you do some research in your toon's home server's forum for global channels and start asking around. This game has a lot of nice people, I'll bet you will find someone to help you very quickly.

    Correct, either activity seems to artificially accelerate the 7-day waiting period and the badge awards (assuming, as noted above, the toon has completed the appropriate morality mission).

    Unless it's been stealth-fixed in the past couple of patches (nothing stated explicity in either patch notes about this issue).

    vandal badge?

    Also, note that there is no progress bar for this badge -- so you either have to keep track independently somehow or just wait until the badge spontaneously awards.

    Does anyone happen to know how we get them now?
    Because you mentioned you're a rookie badge collector, I thought I'd also chime in here and mention that your best bet is probably to do a search on each of those badges (and any others you're interested in) on the wiki, http://paragonwiki.com/wiki/Main_Page. There are usually very helpful details that will direct you in how to go about getting the badge(s) in question.

    Best of luck, and if you have questions feel free to post them and I'm sure they will be answered!

    Since it's out on Test now, it shouldn't be too long.
  11. I'm in, too, Gris -- got many of the ATs/powersets you're looking for. I'll do my best to be on that afternoon.
  12. Thanks for having me along, guys! Great teamwork all around!

    Well, we happened to have three characters with access to Vengeance, so we made use of it. Would single Vengeance have sufficed? Perhaps, but after pounding on those Green Mitos for a long time with no appreciable effect, I wasn't about to "play nice".

    Kahn has been fixed (and I believe Barracuda as well, but I haven't done that one post-patch).
  15. We were also able to complete the LGTF tonight (Victory server), in the end having to pull out all the pets and triple-Vengeance, then take out Hami before tackling the Green Mitos (after clearing everything else first).

    The team consisted of a Scrapper, Blaster, Brute, 2 Widows and 3 Controllers (1 an Emp). I primarily built the team for DPS, knowing about the Mito situation ahead of time. Without eliminating Hami first and doing the Veng thing, we couldn't dent the Mitos. After doing that, the Mitos certainly were anything but pushovers, but defeatable by a team working together.

    The fix's fix will be welcome once it hits Live, but I'm glad that at least the LGTF is able to be completed even in its current form (albeit not for just any team or any situation).

    Actually, I'm fairly sure she isn't being REMOVED from base computers, only added as a standard contact in addition to.
  18. Even though I've had toons with a billion inf before here and there (sometimes at once, more often than that not ), after reading the collected wisdom on marketeering here over the past few months, I thought it would be fun to try and use my newfound knowledge to amass a billion inf on the market at one time -- and since I happened to be leveling up twin Fire Brutes on my two accounts, heck, why not just do it on two toons simultaneously?

    So without further ado, here are my screenshots entreating entry into the club.

    Nope, no PvP, just a mini zombie invasion followed by a 2.485-second fight with a level 50 Defender masquerading as a CoT mage.
  20. Well, it was a quick event, but fun nonetheless. Gold titles were handed out to everyone in attendance in FF, which beats a sharp stick in the eye.
  21. Wow, sounds...mysterious, but 3 PM is work-time in the South Bay, as Ocho well knows!

    Tonight's not so good for me, I teach a course (I'm actually stealing a few minutes on the web right now! ), but I will be on Friday evening (Pacific time) for sure, and perhaps Thursday. We'll get it together eventually.

    Great! Hit me up with a PM in-game (my global is "@EricNelson") and we'll see what can be done. If you can come to Victory to pick it up, I'm more than happy to just purchase or craft one for you blue-side. No repayment necessary, h_w. :-)
